Hello and Welcome! This is my public blog, for sharing little bits of my life with my online friends from around the world. I'll update it with funny little things the kids do, big moments, things I think about, and other such nonsense. If I find a good recipe, I'll share. If I have a tip to make life easier, I'll share. If I win a million bucks in the lottery . . . well, I don't buy lottery tickets, so I'll stop there.

If you are a family member or close friend, perhaps you are looking for my private blog.

Farewell world, hello . . . Alpha Centauri????

Actual conversation, words spelled properly, rather than as pronounced by Z-monster:

Z (holding lego rocketship): eight-nine! (Z lingo for "countdown")
S: Ooooh, Z, what a nice airplane!
Z: No, Daddy, no airplane. Rocket!
S: Oh, ok. What a nice rocket!
Z: Me fly bye-bye! Up, up, up!
S: Wow. Are you going to the moon?
Z: No
Me: Mars?
Z: No
S: Venus?
Z: No
S: Jupiter?
Z: No
S: Saturn?
Z: No
S: Pluto?
Z: No (giggles)
S: Alpha Centauri?
Z (pauses thoughtfully): Uh-huh!
S: You're going to Alpha Centauri???
Z (getting excited): Uh-huh!!!
S: Who is coming with you?
Z: Mommy, Ay-Ay, Didi, kitty, Buzz, and Daddy!
(at this point, countdown commences)
Eight! Nine! Four! Three! Five! One! Go!
(the rocket lifts off, accompanied by much rumbling)
Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy! Bye Ay-Ay! Bye Did! Bye home! Bye house!
